Abstract
The relationship between premarital sexual guilt and contraceptive attitudes and behavior including reasons for nonuse of contraception were obtained for 335 sexually active single women ages 13-20 attending birth control centers in Ontario. Significant relationships were found between premarital sexual guilt and type of contraceptive method used at last intercourse and consistency of use of contraceptive methods. High guilt subjects were significantly more embarrassed about coming to the birth control clinic and having an internal examination than were low guilt subjects. Also high guilt subjects were more likely to believe that it was difficult to obtain birth control pills and were less likely to receive birth control information by reading on their own. Sexual guilt was also significantly related to 7 of 20 reasons for not using contraception. (Authors)
